Abstract

Topological analysis of the electron density distribution in the [2.2]paracyclophane radical anion and radical cation based on the results of B3PW91/6-31+G(d) calculations revealed that reduction of the electron affinity energy down to –0.5 eV (more than a twofold decrease compared to benzene) is a result of transannular interaction between the benzene rings.
